The Senate acts as Obama’s shield (nothing gets to him thus he is blameless and he says he will veto such and such and thus the senate doesn’t bother bringing it up) and the Media acts as the Senate’s shield.

No matter what the republicans in the House do, they will be blamed, so they might as well go for broke! But there are members like Peter King, that stand with the democrats on all things.

Democrats care more about illegal aliens than Americansheroes, period.

Fixed that for you. But there's a bonus; Republicans don't care about Americans either — if they did we'd see something done about the state-sponsored terrorism incident Fast and Furious, the Benghazi incident, the IRS scandal, the NSA scandal, the Tax-code, and "immigration" (read invasion) troubles.

When they did this in 1978, the flights and med care for congressmen and senators was quietly shut down, congressional wives were turned away at the door and told to seek care elsewhere because there was no funding to cover them. There was also no funding for boondogle flights for congressmen. In a couple of cases where the “rulers” tried to force the question, aircrews and hospital staff called in sick. Commanders at the time were behind it; now, who knows. It worked and within two days the self-serving bastards restored all pay and funding.

S.1541 - A bill to appropriate such funds as may be necessary to ensure that members of the Armed Forces, including reserve components thereof, and supporting civilian and contractor personnel continue to receive pay and allowances for active service performed when a Governmentwide shutdown occurs, and for other purposes.113th Congress (2013-2014)

The following 25 Republicans stood shoulder to shoulder with Senator Harry Reid and President Obama to fund ObamaCare:

Coats

Coburn

Cochran

Collins

Corker

Cornyn

Graham

Hoeven

Meanwhile, the 19 heroes who stood with Senators Cruz and Lee to defund ObamaCare are:

It’s not just pissing off active-duty, it’s also pissing off already angered veterans and military families who see OBayMe arming Al Qaeda in Syria. I call it politicians committing treason what do you call it besides vote them all out?

Treason is a good term for it.

To their credit, both my knee-jerk Obama-worshipping Senators have D.C. office staff that is both courteous and polite. I expect no action from either of them, but a tip of the cap to those who answered the phones.

When the president considered sitting down with the four congressional leaders in the White House ahead of the deadline to avert a government shutdown, Reid privately urged Obama to call off the meeting, according to several people familiar with the situation. Reid believed that it would amount to nothing more than a photo-op that would give the false impression that a serious negotiation was occurring, even warning he wouldnt attend such a session. Obama scrapped it.

As Washington barrels forward to the first government shutdown in 17 years on Tuesday, the wily Reid has taken the lead role in pushing a hardball Democratic legislative strategy that can be summed up like this: Make the Republicans cave. *****************

democrats in the house and senate were mostly the same as they are today, with a few more exceptions. Read “The Roosevelt Myth” and you’ll see that today is much like history repeating itself, with the house and senate mostly doing everything it could to support Roosevelt’s socialist agenda.
